      Waiting for AI to take over film making slowly and AMC folding very quietly.

      > Created by Igor Alferov, “Thanksgiving Day” used AI software, including Gemini 3.1 and Nano Banana Pro, to craft an intergalactic story about a bear and his platypus assistant who encounter all kinds of characters as they travel through the galaxy.

      Who did this guy suck off to get this trashy idea any attention?

      When even the theater chain that decided to take advantage of its meme stock status to invest heavily into a silver mining company rejects it, might be time to pack it in.

      AI has over time clearly been improving, the original Will Smith eating spaghetti proves that, but I don’t know why people are saying AI will die off in film like I’m sure people in the 60s and 70s were saying about CGI.

      There’s an AI short film that sparked online outrage? Well I’m not taking the bait and I’m not looking it up.

      AI is a tool. Get used to it. How some of you don’t see that it is the future it beyond me. It is being integrated everywhere. It is super weird to be mad about it.

      Yes, costs and energy need to go down. That will come with time and optimization. It blows my mind how many people are just „AI BAD“ just because they haven’t put any time into understanding what it can do for us.

      But so many people on Reddit told me that nobody in the real world cares if something is AI generated, it’s just terminally online Reddit outrage. Would AMC cancel the screening if it was just Reddit outrage, rather than more widespread outrage? I highly doubt it

      AI will obviously continue to improve but the public decides what they wanna watch and a huge portion of people just aren’t interested in this. And believe me the backlash will only intensify as AI takes more people’s jobs, makes everything more expensive and propagates the spread of misinformation.

      Straight up, the first time I see AI content before a (theater) movie I’m refunding my ticket. I half enjoy seeing previews for movies but they vary so much that it’s difficult to time em out to skip pre-movie content entirely.

      Good. My ~10 shares and I were working on a speech for the next shareholders meeting to call for new leadership. The board of directors is on thin ice, though 😡

      I’m against anything original written by AI, but I am 100% for Star Wars remakes…

      This is really worth a watch if you guys haven’t seen it (and Disney doesn’t make a single dollar from it!) [https://youtu.be/NY2nnsAplSo](https://youtu.be/NY2nnsAplSo)

      Good on them.

      However, it’s not going away. The tech is ever improving and will get harder to detect.

      The studios will do whatever it can to save a buck.
